The person who opened the door was a female knight in black armor --- obviously not the Gem Queen herself.
And immediately after, surrounded by three other guards, the person who slowly walked into the box with elegant and gentle steps was the Queen of Gemstones.
Hearing rumors that the Queen of Jewels is the richest man in Africa, a rich man with a fortune that rivals all other countries, Palamedes initially thought she was an elderly woman. Theoretically, that's the case - not at least
After fifty or sixty years of capital accumulation, how can a businessman who built his fortune from scratch become a rich man?
However, to the surprise of the leopard warriors, the Gem Queen looked much younger than expected. She looked like a young woman in her twenties or thirties, not even a middle-aged woman.
.Is it because she has pure dark elf blood? Speaking of which, how long is the lifespan of a dark elf? Palamedes does not know much about ethnography and has no clue about this matter.
Some people think that purebred dark elves must be dark-skinned, move in the dark, and are the evil branch of elves. In fact, this understanding is completely wrong. Dark elves, such as the gem queen in front of Palamedes, she
Her skin is white, smooth and tender, just like a shelled egg. Except for a slight lack of blood color, her skin color is almost the same as that of ordinary white women;
Her hair and pupils are pure black. The biggest difference in appearance between dark elves and ordinary elves (light elves) is said to be the black hair. Ordinary elves (light elves) have golden hair, which is azure.
Or emerald green pupils, while the hair and pupils of the dark elves are black, or more of a black color. But this does not mean that they are not noble. The black hair and black pupils do not cover up the noble aura of the dark elves, but only make them more noble.
They just add an elegant mystery.
Palamedes focused his attention on the Queen of Gem's ears again. Yes, those pointed ears are the biggest feature of the elves. In addition to having superhuman vision, ordinary elves also have excellent hearing; while Dark
The elf has very good eyesight and superhuman hearing. Those ears can easily hear the sound of a needle falling to the ground within a radius of fifty kilometers, and it can also easily hear the subtle changes in people's heart sounds. Therefore, all lies
Everything is meaningless in front of this Dark Elf Gem Queen, she is just a human lie detector machine.
This slender young woman was wearing a black evening gown embellished with sequins. Under the light, her whole body seemed to be studded with sparkling gems.
No, it's not "like". If you look closely, you will see that those are indeed gems. Very small, but extremely sophisticated, carefully selected diamonds, exquisitely hand-set on dark silver beads, which are neat and orderly.
, sewn on the clothes piece by piece, forming wonderful patterns one after another, making this seemingly simple but actually exquisite sequined evening dress become a work of art.
Palamedes couldn't help but marvel that the Jewel Queen's dressing sense was simply exquisite. She not only chose a luxurious and exquisite dinner dress that would never shame her, but also was careful not to let the excessive decoration of the dress cover her up.
Its own charm. This priceless, yet simple and low-key dark silver gemstone evening dress is like the endless sea of stars in the vast universe, possessing an all-encompassing mysterious beauty. It is low-key and subtle, setting off the elegance and nobility of its owner.
It also tells others powerfully what kind of [person] the owner of this piece of clothing is.
This gem queen is definitely a wise man. A noble person who is meticulous in her work, has a sharp and restrained personality, and has a very high taste in life. Like the Sphinx, she is a business giant and an old monster. She is definitely not a good person.
The character he was dealing with. Palamedes couldn't help secretly swallowing his saliva. Today's dinner was unpredictable, and it might be more difficult than he imagined.
"You are finally here, Ms. Rosetta." Father Sphinx stood up from his seat to greet the guests: "We are really honored that you are willing to come to today's dinner."
"Sphinx, you don't need to be too polite with me. We have discussed business several times, so let's avoid unnecessary politeness." Ms. Rosetta, the Queen of Gemstones, walked up to the crowd and looked at Sphinx with a cold look.
Daddy Finks glanced at him: "So, you called your whole family here this time?"
"Yes, let me introduce: this is my son, Palamedes. The other two are his children, my grandchildren, Saifer and Albert."
Palamedes secretly muttered in his heart. Father Sphinx knew that the Queen of Jewels had the absolute ability to lie, but he was lying unscrupulously, thinking that Palamedes was his son. But look at Dad.
With that calm expression, he didn't seem to be afraid that his lies would be exposed? But is this really possible?
The only possibility is that the Sphinx used some kind of powerful hypnosis to give himself a mental suggestion, making him firmly believe that Palamedes was his son? When he was so convinced, he felt at ease.
The lies he told became flawless, at least the Gem Queen couldn't hear them from his heartbeat.
To be able to do this, the Sphinx is very powerful. It's so powerful that it's terrifying. How strong a will does a person have to be able to self-hypnotize himself to the point where he believes a lie, and believes it so strongly that he believes it to be true?
How much motivation does a person have to have to spend so much hard work to make his fabricated lies become "facts"?
Palamedes coughed dryly, bowed and saluted, and then continued what Father Sphinx said: "My dear Lady Rosetta, good evening. I am Palamedes, and my child Saifei
You all, it is an honor to dine with you tonight."
Since they could not lie in front of Rosetta, the Queen of Jewels, Palamedes omitted many details about his identity. This was also a speech they had prepared in advance. They tried to avoid flaws in every sentence and strived to be vivid, natural and yet
No secrets are revealed.
"Well...it's you." Ms. Rosetta murmured in a low voice, with an almost imperceptible complex expression mixed with confusion, surprise, and even a small amount of anger on her face.
"Is it me? Have we met somewhere before?" Palamedes was confused by the question and couldn't help but asked curiously.
It is no exaggeration to say that even by the standards of the orcs, Ms. Rosetta, the gem queen, is a rare beauty in the world. And Palamedes is not aloof. If he had been on other occasions, in
He had never seen such a stunning woman before. Even if Da Mao didn't feel excited, he would at least have a strong impression in his heart.
As if hearing the big cat's honesty from the heartbeat of Palamedes, a subtle expression appeared on Ms. Rosetta's face.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." She said briefly, saluted everyone, and sat down with everyone.
Of course, the only people sitting at the banquet were Daddy Sphinx, Queen Rosetta of the Gem, Palamedes, Sefir and Albert. Phileos, Daddy's other bodyguards, and the gems
The female knight guards brought by the queen stood side by side on both sides of the crystal box, saying nothing.
"Now that everyone is here, let the banquet begin." Father Sphinx clapped his hands gently, seeming to give an order to the restaurant staff.
The waiters in the restaurant opened the door and came in holding the first dishes of the dinner. When they carefully placed the plates in front of everyone and opened the lid, Palamedes only saw a plate of salad. Although it was a salad, it was
This dish is anything but ordinary. It is made from a variety of rare fruits, most of which are rare and exotic objects that Palamedes has never seen in his life. Fortunately, the big cat has previewed tonight's dish in advance.
Ingredients, he can at least name the food on the plate------
The transparent jelly-like crystal apple slices were precisely cut into twelve absolutely equal parts and carefully arranged on one side of the plate, looking like a blooming crystal flower.
The flesh of the golden honey pear next to them is cylindrical. It is made by carefully removing the softest and smoothest part of the flesh and discarding the remaining imperfect parts. The golden flesh cylinder is carved with exquisite patterns.
, the interior contains fresh and juicy shark fins that have been simmered in clear chicken soup for a long time. The golden honey pear reflects a bright golden color like gold melting under the light. It reflects infinitely inside the crystal clear and elastic shark fins, making those transparency
The extremely tall shark fins and even the crystal apple blossoms on the side vaguely reveal a noble halo of gold.
The emerald cucumber shreds on the side set off this luxurious golden light very well. The mouth-watering turquoise and golden colors complement each other. Together with the bright white special salad dressing, the whole salad looks very attractive.
.
Looking at this plate of dishes that were like works of art, Palamedes was a little reluctant to eat them. Albert, who was sitting next to the leopard warrior, didn't care at all, picked up his knife and fork and started eating and drinking.
The sweet golden honey pear meat is paired with the fragrant but not greasy chicken sauce shark's fin. These two wonderfully balanced and harmonious flavors ripple in the tiger's mouth, which is simply intoxicating.
"Hmm~" Albert hurriedly swallowed the food down his throat, then showed a satisfied expression and praised: "It's been a long time since I've eaten such exquisite food."
Palamedes suddenly twitched in his heart. Oh no!
"A long time?" A trace of doubt appeared on Ms. Rosetta's eyebrows. She seemed to hear something was wrong.
Palamedes's heart trembled again------the secret was revealed!
According to Father Sphinx, since they are his children and grandchildren, they must be wealthy and live a luxurious life, right? However, the tiger showed such a satisfied expression after just taking a bite of salad and acted so poor.
He doesn't look like the eldest son of a wealthy family. It would be strange if he keeps keeping this up!
